Question 1 Report

From the words lettered A to E, choose the word that best completes each of the following sentences.
The robbers.....all the rooms, looking for jewels.
Answer Details
The most suitable word that completes the sentence is "ransacked." Ransack means to search thoroughly or vigorously through (a house, receptacle, etc.), typically by turning things over and causing damage. In this context, the robbers were searching for jewels, and the word "ransacked" accurately conveys the extent and intensity of their search. The other options do not fit the context as well, as they do not convey the same level of thoroughness or destruction.
